One thought, make bootable USB thumb drives instead... this way you can write to them.<div><br></div><div>Andy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 9:15 PM, Jeffrey Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeffrey@strandcruisers.com">jeffrey@strandcruisers.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

So our tech dept in our district has removed all our triple boot builds (Mac OSX, Vista & Edubuntu) on our Mac Minis and installed Windoze7 only. I am working with Tux Typing and want to be able to have an edited word list for my students. The problem is is that the tech dept doesn't fully use the roaming profile so in Windoze7 each user stores some of their stuff, like favorites, Firefox settings and Tux Typing edited word lists, in their own local folder. So each user needs to have the edited word list files stored in their own unique folder on each machine. So my scheme is to build a linux boot cd with a few Edubuntu games on it with their custom files already installed and configured. Student will just boot from the disk, like in my old Apple IIe daze. No need to save anything, unlike in the old FrEdWriter daze. And we don't want to modify the existing Mac Mini or the hard drive. <:<br>

So I am thinking I could build a box with Ubuntu and add a few of the educational software packages. Configure the software as I see fit, including custom word lists. Then clone it with Clonezilla to CD. Never done it before. So I am wondering what I might need to pay attention to as I am building a boot CD without the capabilities of installing linux on the existing hard drive. All the computers are Mac Minis but it would be cool if it would work on any intel.<br>
<br>
I had thought about editing the boot cd that one can download as an iso file. But I never done that either.<br>
<br>
Any ides, thoughts and/or caveats will be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Peace<br>
